Friday on Political Rewind: Today is the final day of early voting in Georgia’s primary election. More than 700,000 people already cast their ballots – a record for the state, with tens of thousands likely to vote today.
Gov. Brian Kemp campaigned on his record for attracting business to Georgia. Today he will be in Savannah to announce the state has won the bid to be the site of a Hyundai electric vehicle assembly plant. The new plant is expected to bring 8,000 new jobs to the area.
Plus, Republicans in Congress blame the Biden administration for the baby formula shortage but vote against a measure the administration says will ease the crisis.
